Kanye

I'm sure most of you by now have heard about Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music awards. It's been on the news, the radio, and it has been all over the Internet. Why does anyone really care? If you talked to anyone 5 days ago, especially any male, they would all scoff at the notion of watching MTV. They would be furious that you'd even hint that MTV is even programmed in their TV. And if you asked that same audience they wouldn't wouldn't have know n who Taylor Swift is. But now that he interrupted her, let's tar and feather the son of a bitch.
First of all Kanye West is a rapper. He is a thug who needs the spotlight on him each and every second of the day. Are we really that surprised that a rapper would do something like this? Snoop Dogg was accused of murder, and I don't think you can be a rapper unless you have a felony drug conviction. Chris Brown beat the shit out of Rihanna. Let's remember that Kanye went onto live TV and proclaimed that George Bush hates black people. So this kind of behavior isn't surprising.
Secondly Taylor Swift is a 19 year old millionaire. And it's not like this was the Grammy's. So I really don't feel to bad for her.
So I guess I really don't get why this has become such a big deal. It's the MTV music awards. It's not the Oscar's or Grammy's. It involves a loud mouth rapper, and a young country singer. She got a second chance to give her acceptance speech. Beyonce looks good for giving Taylor Swift her moment. Taylor Swift looks good for taking the high road. MTV gets all the added exposure, and Kanye looks like a thug. So everyone got what they wanted. Now can we stop talking about this?
